different levels. One of the biggest challenges has been to give response to our technical needs online. The design of the space where we were willing to show some work we consider very valuable and actively contributing, with contents and aesthetics, to the improvement of quality in the photographic scene and, besides, the making of it with dignity, making sure that each artist feels happy with the way their work appear (another challenging and enlightening process). Getting to feel satisfied with the layout and learning to develop each issue by a trial and error method has been a great achivement indeed. Seeking for a server, generating databases, sending massive emails (still working on that one!!). There is so much work behind, we state it full of happiness and satisfaction. a estamos trabajando en ello!!).

Learning to work in a team has involved a huge development for us, not only in photographic, editing or discerning terms, but also, and very deeply in our most personal aspects. All of us have worked on different things: patience, perseverance, listening, respect, generosity, many things, many of them. The fact that we never settled a previous structure with fixed roles, far from turning us into a chaotic group, has given us the chance to develop each one's contribution to 1:1 on a time, appeal, interest or need basis. And, for no specific reason as it seems, the team has grown up and keep on advancing in their balance with any task needed to keep the magazine alive, and, what's even better, to help us feel pleased.

Surprisingly, a project which was born in order to respond to our personal photographic interests, to our searching of contents and stimuli, to the exploration into our own photography through the work of others, has become much more, personally, technically and administratively, different matters in which we have had to face from the very beginning the peculiarities of editing a magazine on the net, a means far from a physical support, which has always been the essence of photography. Simultaneously, we have had the opportunity to publish a wide range of photographic expressions (literary too, including

mixed works of photography and texts from two different artists) amazingly creative and different, we have sometimes even found out we know nothing about the latest art which is created in so many places with a huge photographic tradition (France turned out a great surprise!!), and 1:1 holds a debt with other areas will try to reach soon (Latin America: we want to blow strongly over there).

In the beginnings, our main task was to turn 1:1 into wind by a continuous searching of contents along the first issues; nowadays, and thanks to the works addressed to us by their authors, that wind blows much more fluently, divides into many and blows all over the world. It is invited to enter into places almost everywhere, which pleases us twice: we get to know photographers we have never heard of, and also, we take part in their work because we believe in it and we consider 1:1 is a particular means of divulgation in which every photographic work is completed by texts that introduce into it, make a whole of it and even transform it, and, in such transformation something new is born, something that does not exist but in 1:1. Finally - why not accept it? -, Finalmente —¿por que no reconocerlo?—, there is one more reason that increases our satisfaction, a somehow vain reason this time: many photographers have chosen us as their means to show their work. It is really encouraging to see that 1:1 - this choral work - is considered a worthy means for spreading art not only by young or unknown artists, but also by settled well-known ones. This fact helps give balance to what we want to do.... and lets us keep our independence as well, a quality we consider as core of this magazine.

1:1 is still a place for spontaneous expresión, good or bad. We hold no other ambition than contributing on showing one other side of photography, one in which the photographic work wears words too; we do not intend to create, support or keep artistic trends (that light stream of air which just stirs things up and goes away, naturally forgetting its past and disregarding its future). However, some wonderings appear now, after ten issues and two years of
